Diner notes
5 out of 5
This cozy Italian bar was conveniently located right near the apartment we stayed at during our time in Tokyo, so we ended up visiting quite often. We tried the Veggies Pizza, Pasta, and a variety of Mocktails. Everything was of good quality and tasted really good. The outdoor seating area was another highlight, offering a calm and silent street vibe that made the experience even more relaxing. A great spot for casual meals in the neighborhood.

Bar with amazing Italian entrees. Hunting for tasty Italian food, I found Rize Mize. I was initially a little skeptical, expecting bar style Italian, but I was happily surprised by the offerings. The pizza oven was a dead giveaway that this place took the food side of the drinks and food menu seriously. It is mainly a bar, so at least one drink is mandatory, but while waiting for a pasta, there are few things better than low music playing, sports of some variety on the TV above the bar playing, and pleasant conversation with friends. I tried the pasta arrabbiata and the shrimp pesto, both were a step beyond. The arrabbiata had a level of 1-3 spiciness, and I chose 1, not wanting to overdo it, and it was perfect. The spiciness accented the al dente pasta, and the sauce was ample and flowing over every crevice of the penne noodles. The shrimp in the pesto was succulent and juicy with the perfect amount of seasoning, and the pesto was tangy and delicious. Wine added an extra dimension of flavor to the entire meal. If you like wine, cocktails, and pasta, try this restaurant/bar.

Food and atmosphere are great. You will probably need a reservation even on a normal day since it's very popular but small. Atmosphere is kind of a mash of Italian things and Italian-American inspired things, though the food is definitely more Italian style than American (they have a legit stone oven) and tastes great.
